Trait for ROS message types

Identifies a ROS message type by its DDS type name and RIHS hash. All message types implement Serialize and Deserialize.

Required Associated Constants

const TYPE_NAME: &'static str

Full ROS type name in DDS format

Example: "std_msgs::msg::dds_::String_"

const TYPE_HASH: &'static str

RIHS (ROS Interface Hashing Standard) type hash

Used for type validation between publishers and subscribers. Format: 64-character hex string (SHA-256)

Provided Associated Constants

const STAMP_OFFSET: Option<usize> = None

RFC-0052 / phase-296 W3a — byte offset of header.stamp.sec within this type’s serialized CDR payload (encapsulation header included), or None when the type has no leading std_msgs/Header / builtin_interfaces/Time. Codegen-const, never runtime introspection: CDR here is little-endian with a 4-byte encapsulation header and Time { i32 sec; u32 nanosec } is 4-byte aligned, so a Header-leading (or Time-leading) type carries sec at byte 4 and nanosec at byte 8. On-target max_age monitors peek these two words from the raw receive buffer before deserialization.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
